It's Getting Warm
It's getting warm.
Getting warm for the ecosystem.
Getting warm as the talks all flounder in The Hague;
Getting warm 'cause we know that pressure makes hot air;
Getting warm, though the forecasts of how warm are vague;
Getting warm and the global businesses don't care.
It's getting wet.
Getting wet for the whole of England.
Getting wet from Vale of York to Sussex plains;
Getting wet on protestors who want cheaper fuel;
Getting wet at the fall of hundred-year high rains;
Getting wet while Yanks and Europeans duel.
It's getting bad
Getting bad for our children's children.
Getting bad for the fishermen who find no fish;
Getting bad for those living near rivers or sea;
Getting bad for the future yet we're still selfish;
Getting bad for you, and it's getting bad for me.
Give the Earth a great deal
And it won't need a lot,
But we have to get real
Before it starts getting hot.
